How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Totteridge

Repair or replace in Totteridge?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Totteridge. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Totteridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Totteridge
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Totteridge?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Totteridge and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
