How we handle bath repair in Haverstock
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. 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. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Haverstock and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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 generally the cheaper route.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

When to call us in Haverstock
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Haverstock: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Haverstock. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
