About our bath repair in West Ealing
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and holes from dropped items, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
West Ealing questions
How do I get a price for bath repair in West Ealing?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your W7 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are there extra charges for West Ealing?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
