Bath repair at your home in EC2Y

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
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.
We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

What you will pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairing versus replacing

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

Questions to ask before booking

What aftercare is recommended
How the room is protected while they work
Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How soon you can use it again

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in City of London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath repair

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Rusty patches near the plughole
Chips along the edge of the bath
A hole punched through by something heavy
