How we handle bath repair in Bankside
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bankside: your questions answered
How much does bath repair cost in Bankside?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SE1 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Bankside?
We do. We send a technician to Bankside for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Bankside?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
