Bath repair across EC2A: what to expect
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to EC2A. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Look after 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.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Common problems we fix in EC2A
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
