Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Clapton
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath repair at your home in Upper Clapton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Upper Clapton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice

Upper Clapton questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What affects the price in Upper Clapton
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your N16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
