Bath repair in Farringdon without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can generally put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Farringdon
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Farringdon and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Farringdon
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No extra charge for your area

Landlord and trade work in Farringdon
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Do you need bath repair in Farringdon?
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
Before you book anyone
