Bath repair in Gunnersbury, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
Common problems we fix in Gunnersbury
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your W4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Gunnersbury
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you work in Gunnersbury?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gunnersbury. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
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.
