Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath repair at your home in Beddington
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Beddington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Beddington
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Landlord and trade work in Beddington
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beddington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Beddington. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs
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 feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Beddington
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Beddington?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
