Bath repair at your home in West End
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and scratches and burns.
All our work is covered by our 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.

Questions from West End
Do you work for landlords and businesses in West End?
Yes. We carry out repairs for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much does bath repair cost in West End?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your W1F postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in West End
Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron 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 after spotting something like this:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
