How bath repair works in WC1N

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Repair or replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

Signs you need bath repair

A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to WC1N. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for WC1N. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in WC1N and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Your questions about bath repair in WC1N

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
