Bath chip & crack repair in Tower Hill, Greater London
Problem with your bath in Tower Hill? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tower Hill and across Greater London.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Common problems we fix in Tower Hill
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Common questions in Tower Hill
Are there extra charges for Tower Hill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
