About bath repair in WS1
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and damage beneath the taps, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. 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.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
What it costs in WS1

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Repairing versus replacing
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
How the damage happens
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Common reasons people in WS1 contact us are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Your questions about bath repair in WS1
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
