If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected

Bath repair in East Law without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Common questions in East Law
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I get a price for bath repair in East Law?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
