We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Other services in Plaistow
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Plaistow?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Plaistow
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Plaistow
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
