What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repair or replace in Leyton?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Leyton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Leyton. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Leyton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Leyton questions
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you work in Leyton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Leyton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Leyton

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
