Bath repair in Atlantic Wharf, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Atlantic Wharf as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Atlantic Wharf: your questions answered
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Atlantic Wharf, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace in Atlantic Wharf?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
