How we handle bath repair in Boot Street
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are rust by the waste and overflow and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Boot Street
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boot Street use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Boot Street
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Common problems we fix in Boot Street
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Boot Street. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
