Bath repair at your home in Hoxton
Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, 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.

Questions from Hoxton
Do you come to Hoxton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hoxton and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and clean up when we finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses in Hoxton?
Yes. We carry out repairs for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When to call us in Hoxton
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 lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
