Bath repair for Seven Sisters homes

Bath repair at your home in Seven Sisters

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Landlord and trade work in Seven Sisters

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Seven Sisters, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Seven Sisters

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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Questions from Seven Sisters

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Seven Sisters?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Seven Sisters for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

When to call us in Seven Sisters

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
