About our bath repair in Brixton
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. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Questions from Brixton
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Brixton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brixton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brixton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need bath repair in Brixton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered

What else we do in Brixton
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brixton. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
