Repairs by material
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Bath repair in Hatch End, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hatch End. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- 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 you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos

- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it

Repair or replace in Hatch End?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Hatch End, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hatch End questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cover the entire UK, including Hatch End and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
