Your questions about bath repair in Chinatown
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in Chinatown
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You do not 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 reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Signs you need bath repair in Chinatown
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
