Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Blackfriars: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Blackfriars?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you work in Blackfriars?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Blackfriars from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
When to call us in Blackfriars
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Other services in Blackfriars
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What affects the price in Blackfriars
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
