Your questions about bath repair in Clapham
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How much does bath repair cost in Clapham?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Bath repair in Clapham, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Clapham
Do you need bath repair in Clapham?
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clapham
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Clapham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SW4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairing versus replacing in Clapham
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
