Bath repair at your home in Birchgrove
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Birchgrove. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Birchgrove get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Birchgrove?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, 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 generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in Birchgrove
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
Comparing quotes
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Birchgrove
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Birchgrove

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Birchgrove?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 is the part we put right.
