Bath repair at your home in Clapton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Clapton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
When to call us in Clapton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

You don’t 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 reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Your questions about bath repair in Clapton
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What areas do you cover?
All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clapton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
