Trusted bath repair in Canning Town

Bath repair in Canning Town without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need bath repair in Canning Town

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Scratches and burns
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

FAQs for Canning Town

When can I use it again after the repair?

Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Canning Town?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Canning Town and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
