Bath repair in St Giles, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St Giles and across Greater London.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to St Giles. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in St Giles, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we’re called out for in St Giles
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps

Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
