Bath repair in Homerton without replacing anything

You can usually use the bath 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 and the tiles around it. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

How the visit 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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Signs you need bath repair in Homerton

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, 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:

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, 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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Homerton

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 protect the room?

We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and clean up before we leave.

What about rust by the waste?

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

Do you come to Homerton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Homerton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords and businesses in Homerton book you?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Repair or replace in Homerton?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
