Bath repair across E3: what to expect

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Repairing versus replacing

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Store metal items away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in E3 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around E3, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

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 what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common questions in E3

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does bath repair cost in E3?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
