Bath repair in City of London 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 roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and rust spots where the enamel has gone.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in City of London as everywhere else we work. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When to call us in City of London
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches and burns
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
