Signs you need bath repair in Addiscombe
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Bath repair in Addiscombe, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Addiscombe as everywhere else we work.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Addiscombe
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Addiscombe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
