Book bath repair in Tufnell Park

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Bath repair at your home in Tufnell Park

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need bath repair in Tufnell Park

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic

Your questions about bath repair in Tufnell Park

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Do you come to Tufnell Park?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Tufnell Park from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Tufnell Park

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
