How bath repair works in N5
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and chips under the taps.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
What it costs in N5
Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for N5. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Common problems we fix in N5
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
N5: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work in N5?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to N5 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
