When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Bath repair in Clapham, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Clapham
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Clapham
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover the entire of Bedford Borough?
All of Bedford Borough, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. 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 items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
