Bath repair in Paddington without replacing anything

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Paddington questions

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Paddington?

We do. Technicians travel to Paddington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Paddington, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Landlord and trade work in Paddington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Common problems we fix in Paddington

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
