How we handle bath repair in Blackney
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Blackney clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Blackney. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Blackney. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Blackney
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
