About our bath repair in Kensal Green
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kensal Green and across Greater London.

Kensal Green: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you cover Kensal Green?
We do. Technicians travel to Kensal Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Kensal Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kensal Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Kensal Green
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
