Bath repair across W1G: what to expect
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Common problems we fix in W1G
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Landlord and trade work in W1G
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in W1G as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in W1G
Do you cover W1G?
We do. We send a technician to W1G for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I get a price for bath repair in W1G?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
