- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath repair at your home in Acton
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We are frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Acton
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you cover Acton?
We do. We send a technician to Acton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath repair in Acton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps

Landlord and trade work in Acton
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
