Trusted bath repair in Whitechapel

Bath repair in Whitechapel 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. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron 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. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

How the visit works

On the day, 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 let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  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. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What guarantee do I get?

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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Whitechapel

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

Do you need bath repair in Whitechapel?

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to 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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
