The process
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 are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Landlord and trade work in Abinger Common
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need bath repair in Abinger Common
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the entire UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Abinger Common
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
