Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair in East Town, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in East Town
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps

East Town questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in East Town
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
