Our bath repair service in EC1Y
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and a chipped rim or side, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Prices in EC1Y
Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in EC1Y
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Repairing versus replacing
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the damage happens
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
