Tower Hamlets questions

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CT17 postcode.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tower Hamlets. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

When to call us in Tower Hamlets

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
