Bath Repair in Finchley

How we handle bath repair in Finchley

Most baths can be used again the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Finchley questions

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Do you cover Finchley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Finchley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

Can landlords and businesses in Finchley book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Finchley and across Greater London.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

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.

What we work on

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

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 tidy up before we leave 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Do you need bath repair in Finchley?

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being 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 crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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