Bath Repair near Stratford

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we handle bath repair in Stratford

You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. 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 can start.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Stratford

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

What happens on the day

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 morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Signs you need bath repair in Stratford

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

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