What affects the price in Cranford
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cranford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Cranford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
About our bath repair in Cranford
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
FAQs for Cranford
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Cranford is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.
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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel

Signs you need bath repair in Cranford
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
There is 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.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
