Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Questions from Warner Estate
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your E17 postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Do you need bath repair in Warner Estate?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
