Bath Repair for St James's homes
Bath repair for St James's, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair at your home in St James's
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and holes from dropped items.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When to call us in St James's
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to St James's. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Your questions about bath repair in St James's
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for St James's?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
