DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Canning Town: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
