How we handle bath repair in Stoke Newington

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We are often asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Stoke Newington?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stoke Newington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stoke Newington. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your N16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Stoke Newington: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Newington

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
