Bath repair in Plaistow without replacing anything

You can usually use the bath 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. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Plaistow as everywhere else we work. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Common questions in Plaistow

Do you protect the room?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and clean up when we finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Plaistow?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Plaistow and across Greater London.

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Plaistow?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Plaistow and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

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

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

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

Materials we work on in Plaistow

When to call us in Plaistow

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 will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches and burns
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave 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. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  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
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
