Bath and surface repairs in W3

Bath repair across W3: what to expect

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

• What the surface is made of
• The size and number of damaged areas
• Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
• Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

• A close-up of the damage, in focus
• A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
• Any details about the material
• Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
