Bath repair at your home in Box Hill
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and holes from dropped items.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Box Hill
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we’re called out for in Box Hill
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work

- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What affects the price in Box Hill
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Questions from Box Hill
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
