Bath repair at your home in Joppa
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and impact holes in acrylic, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Joppa
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Joppa is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Joppa.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Joppa. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Joppa clients choose us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Joppa, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Signs you need bath repair in Joppa
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
