About our bath repair in Upper Street

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Upper Street and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • 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.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Do you need bath repair in Upper Street?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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