Hackney Central: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Bath repair in Hackney Central, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We are frequently asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairs by material
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 is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Hackney Central, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hackney Central use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
