- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair in Bow Street, done in place
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 day after. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bow Street as everywhere else we work.

Bow Street questions
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
How much does bath repair cost in Bow Street?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Bow Street
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What else we do in Bow Street
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repairing versus replacing in Bow Street
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
