How we handle bath repair in Somers Town

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Somers Town

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Somers Town

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Somers Town. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Somers Town

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Somers Town?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you work in Somers Town?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Somers Town for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
