How bath repair works in N10

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repairing versus replacing

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in N10 get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

N10: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
