Bath Repair near Marylebone

FAQs for Marylebone

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

How soon can I use it again?

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

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 I need to be at home?

Yes, usually. We need access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Marylebone?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your W1U postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Bath repair in Marylebone without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

How the visit works

When we visit, 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. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Marylebone

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
