DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath repair at your home in Alperton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Questions from Alperton
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Alperton
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Alperton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

Signs you need bath repair in Alperton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
