Trusted bath repair in Pelham

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Bath repair in Pelham without replacing anything

Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots where the enamel has gone and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pelham as everywhere else we work. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Pelham customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book

Pelham questions

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

How much does bath repair cost in Pelham?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.

Can landlords and businesses in Pelham book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you protect the room?

We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and clean up when we finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

When to call us in Pelham

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Scratches and burns
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
