Bath repair at your home in N16

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Pricing in N16

Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in N16

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

How hard the colour is to match
The material
Doing more than one item at once
The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

Your postcode, so we can check dates
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Any details about the material
A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in N16 and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit.
