Bath Repair near New Cross

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Bath repair at your home in New Cross

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in New Cross

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Scratches and burns
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
