Bath repair in Greenwich without replacing anything
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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. 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.

How it works
When we visit, 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 morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Greenwich
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 deals only with the damage in a single 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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Greenwich questions
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 you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you protect the room?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and clean up when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, 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.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords and businesses in Greenwich book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Greenwich and across Greater London.
When to call us in Greenwich
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches and burns
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while we work

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
