Bath repair at your home in Haggerston
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Haggerston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Haggerston
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Haggerston customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before booking
Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Common problems we fix in Haggerston
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
