Advice
Bath repair at your home in Angel
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and holes from dropped items, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Angel
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Angel. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your N1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
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.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Angel: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When to call us in Angel
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Angel, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

- Cast iron enamel
