Bath repair at your home in EC1P
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and deep scratches in acrylic, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How the damage happens
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around EC1P, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in EC1P
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
