Bath repair at your home in Acton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Acton and across Kent.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Acton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Acton?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One price list for the whole UK

- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Acton
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Acton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Acton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
