Bath repair at your home in Plaistow
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
