About bath repair in SW7
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
What it costs in SW7
Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Local landmarks in Kensington
We visit homes around Church of St Barnabas, Kensington School and St Barnabas and St Philip's CofE Primary School and the streets around them. You’ll also find Holland Park (under half a mile north-west), Holland Park School (within half a mile north), Scarsdale Tavern (within half a mile south-east) and Abdus Salam Library (1 mile east). There is a railway station in Kensington itself: Kensington Olympia station. A little further out are Ladbroke Estate (0.9 miles north) and St Mary Abbot's Hospital (0.5 miles east). For a walk, there’s WWT London Wetland Centre and The Long Water.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in SW7
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
What affects the price in SW7
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including SW7. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Common questions in SW7
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
