Landlords, agents and businesses in Seven Dials

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your W1F postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Repairing versus replacing in Seven Dials

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Seven Dials: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover Seven Dials?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Seven Dials and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
