Bath repair in Alfington without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Alfington as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Alfington
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Alfington clients choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about bath repair in Alfington
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
