Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair at your home in Hackney Wick
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your photos
Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Hackney Wick questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hackney Wick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
