How we handle bath repair in Southgate
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Southgate
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Southgate included. There is no extra charge for travel.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you cover Southgate?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Southgate. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Southgate
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
