- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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 repair chips early.
Bath repair in Kensal Rise without replacing anything
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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Kensal Rise
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What affects the price in Kensal Rise
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kensal Rise. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Most customers in Kensal Rise get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
