Toronto questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Are there extra charges for Toronto?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Bath repair in Toronto, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Toronto and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Toronto, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
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 price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Toronto
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
