Bath chip & crack repair in Blackheath, Surrey
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Blackheath, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Bath repair in Blackheath without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Blackheath, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What affects the price in Blackheath
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Blackheath
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Common questions in Blackheath
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Blackheath?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What else we do in Blackheath
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
