Trusted bath repair in Stockwell

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Bath repair at your home in Stockwell

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stockwell as everywhere else we work. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Questions from Stockwell

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can landlords and businesses in Stockwell book you?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you protect the room?

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

What about rust by the waste?

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

When can I use it again after the repair?

Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

When to call us in Stockwell

Nearly all the chips we see 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, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
