How we handle bath repair in Marylebone

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and chips under the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Marylebone clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Marylebone: your questions answered

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you come to Marylebone?

We do. We send a technician to Marylebone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Marylebone. 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

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your W1U postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need bath repair in Marylebone?

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
