Repair or replace in Clapham Green?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Clapham Green
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
Questions from Clapham Green
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Clapham Green?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
