Your questions about bath repair in Hammersmith
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you come to Hammersmith?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hammersmith. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Bath repair at your home in Hammersmith
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
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 repair chips early.
What we do, step by step
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 two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hammersmith. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Hammersmith get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
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, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
When to call us in Hammersmith
