How we handle bath repair in Isle of Dogs
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Isle of Dogs?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Your questions about bath repair in Isle of Dogs
Are there extra charges for Isle of Dogs?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you work in Isle of Dogs?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Isle of Dogs and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What affects the price in Isle of Dogs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Isle of Dogs. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
