For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath repair at your home in Ruislip Manor
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and damage beneath the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Ruislip Manor
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HA4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Ruislip Manor
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HA4 postcode.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover Ruislip Manor?

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
