Bath chip & crack repair in Paddington, Greater London
Problem with your bath in Paddington? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Bath repair at your home in Paddington
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Paddington as everywhere else we work.

Do you need bath repair in Paddington?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Landlord and trade work in Paddington
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price

Advice
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 usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Your questions about bath repair in Paddington
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts 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 there are no surprises on the day.
