Bath repair in Bow Common, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We are frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and chips caused by builders, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bow Common and across Greater London.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Related advice
Your questions about bath repair in Bow Common
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Other services in Bow Common
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Bow Common
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
