Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

FAQs for Yiewsley
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
Everywhere in the UK, Yiewsley included. Travel is included in the price.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Do you need bath repair in Yiewsley?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides

The process
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 the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
