Bath repair at your home in Eastcote
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. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Eastcote and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we are called out for in Eastcote
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business

Eastcote: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath repair in Eastcote?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NN12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
