Bath repair in Sherbourne Street, done in place
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. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Signs you need bath repair in Sherbourne Street
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sherbourne Street. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size

- A photo taken from further back
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Your questions about bath repair in Sherbourne Street
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
