Bath repair at your home in NW1

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit.

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Store metal items away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Common problems we fix in NW1

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chip where the taps sit

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in NW1 get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

NW1 questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
