About our bath repair in Hackney
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Hackney: your questions answered
Do you cover Hackney?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hackney from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

What affects the price in Hackney
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hackney, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Signs you need bath repair in Hackney
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: 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 from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
For a price in Hackney, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. 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.
