- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Advice
Bath repair at your home in Baker Street
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Signs you need bath repair in Baker Street

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about bath repair in Baker Street
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
