Bath Repair in Hampstead

How we handle bath repair in Hampstead

You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and rust spots where the enamel has gone.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Repair or replace in Hampstead?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 before you book.

What happens on the day

On the day, 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 morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  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

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

Signs you need bath repair in Hampstead

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
