- Repairs from £95

How we handle bath repair in Moorfields
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Moorfields
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place.

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.
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’s what we repair.
What affects the price in Moorfields
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath repair in Moorfields
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Moorfields: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
