Our bath repair service in EN4

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

EN4 questions

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I get a price for bath repair in EN4?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
