Bath repair in Wapping, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Wapping, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Questions from Wapping
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How much does bath repair cost in Wapping?
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 I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wapping. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need bath repair in Wapping?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wapping. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your E1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
