Your questions about bath repair in Bromley
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Bromley and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to Bromley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bromley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you need bath repair in Bromley?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in Bromley
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bromley. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Bromley
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
