How bath repair works in W9
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
What it costs in W9
Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to W9. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
