About our bath repair in City of London

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in City of London, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for City of London

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in City of London?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to City of London from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so City of London is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in City of London use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Common problems we fix in City of London

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Impact holes in acrylic

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
