Bath repair at your home in Clapgate
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Clapgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Clapgate
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work in Clapgate?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Clapgate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Clapgate and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Clapgate
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Clapgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Clapgate clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before booking

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
