About our bath repair in Perivale
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Perivale?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need bath repair in Perivale?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Perivale questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Perivale and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How much does bath repair cost in Perivale?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Perivale
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
