How we handle bath repair in Chinatown

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Chinatown

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches and burns

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while we work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Chinatown questions

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you come to Chinatown?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chinatown and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords and businesses in Chinatown book you?

How soon can I use it again?

Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How much does bath repair cost in Chinatown?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Do you protect the room?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and clean up before we leave.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
