How we handle bath repair in Kensal Town
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and snagging damage from a refit, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kensal Town as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Kensal Town

- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kensal Town. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Kensal Town, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Kensal Town questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
