How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Little London

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GL17 postcode.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little London. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

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.
