Bath repair in Chislehurst without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about bath repair in Chislehurst
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you cover Chislehurst?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Chislehurst and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chislehurst
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in Chislehurst
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again

Repairing versus replacing in Chislehurst
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
