About bath repair in IG7
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

How the damage happens
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What affects the price in IG7
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in IG7, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
