Landlords, agents and businesses in Royal Docks
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Royal Docks, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we’re called out for in Royal Docks
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your E16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
