About bath repair in E1W

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

What you will pay

Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Local landmarks in Whitechapel

Around Whitechapel, we work in homes near London Enterprise Academy, St Mary Matfelon and St Mary-at-Hill and the streets around them. You will also find Bishopsgate Institute Special Collections and Archives (0.5 miles west), The White Hart pub (within half a mile south-west), Canon Barnett Primary School (under half a mile west) and Makers Academy (within half a mile west). For rail, the closest station is Whitechapel station, roughly 0.5 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Minories (0.5 miles south-west) and The Royal London Hospital (0.5 miles east). The countryside around Whitechapel includes St. James's Park Lake and Lavender Pond.

  • Parks and local facilities nearby include Finsbury Circus (0.8 miles west)

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Store metal items away from the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Common problems we fix in E1W

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What affects the price in E1W

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to E1W. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

We do not add 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.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Common questions in E1W

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
