DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
About our bath repair in Upper Walthamstow
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Upper Walthamstow questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Other services in Upper Walthamstow
Do you need bath repair in Upper Walthamstow?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Upper Walthamstow contact us are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
