Bath chip & crack repair in Covent Garden, Greater London
Problem with your bath in Covent Garden? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we handle bath repair in Covent Garden
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Covent Garden and across Greater London.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair in Covent Garden
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
