How we handle bath repair in Churchgate
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Churchgate questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Churchgate
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
