How we handle bath repair in Howe Street
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Your questions about bath repair in Howe Street
Do you work in Howe Street?
We do. We send a technician to Howe Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
When to call us in Howe Street
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before booking anyone

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Howe Street
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Howe Street. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
