How bath repair works in E15
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Common problems we fix in E15
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Landlord and trade work in E15
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
