About bath repair in L5
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Signs you need bath repair
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in L5
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
