How bath repair works in NW7
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Pricing in NW7
Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in NW7
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairing versus replacing
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What we are called out for in NW7
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
NW7 questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
