Bath and surface repairs in W1J

How bath repair works in W1J

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
5. Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
