Bath repair in Brockley Whins without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brockley Whins
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Brockley Whins: your questions answered
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Brockley Whins?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Do you need bath repair in Brockley Whins?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Repairing versus replacing in Brockley Whins
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
