Repairs by material
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
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What else we do in West Kensington
Landlord and trade work in West Kensington
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Kensington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site

West Kensington questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for West Kensington?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What affects the price in West Kensington

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
