How bath repair works in N14

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and snagging damage from a refit.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Around Southgate

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Salcombe School, Christ Church Southgate Parish Church and Grovelands Park. You will also find The New Crown pub (under half a mile north), Ashmole Academy (less than half a mile north) and Ashmole Primary School (less than half a mile north-west). The nearest railway station is New Southgate station, roughly 1 mile south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Municipal Borough of Southgate (1.3 miles south-east) and Grand Arcade (2.1 miles south-west). Open spaces near Southgate include Highgate Hill and Barfield Allotments Nature Park.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

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

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Landlords, agents and businesses in N14

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Questions from N14

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I get a price for bath repair in N14?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
