Our bath repair service in W7

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.

First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What it costs in W7

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

Doing more than one item at once
Where the damage is and how we get to it
The colour and finish to match
The material and finish

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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

Where you are, by postcode
The material, if you know it
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in W7 as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in W7

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

Cracks in an acrylic bath
A kit repair that didn’t last
Snagging damage from a refit
Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Metal that has corroded all the way through
Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Your questions about bath repair in W7

How do I get a price for bath repair in W7?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
