Bath repair at your home in South Hampstead
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in South Hampstead, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
South Hampstead questions
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover South Hampstead?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to South Hampstead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repair or replace in South Hampstead?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our pricing and bath cost comparison.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
