About our bath repair in Acton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Acton
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
