Bath repair in St Luke's, done in place

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and holes from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

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 can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Do you need bath repair in St Luke's?

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in St Luke's

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover St Luke's?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to St Luke's and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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