About our bath repair in Lower Clapton
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we’re called out for in Lower Clapton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Common questions in Lower Clapton
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Lower Clapton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lower Clapton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
