How we handle bath repair in Stepney
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

- Roll-top & freestanding

Common problems we fix in Stepney
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stepney
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Stepney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
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.
