How we handle bath repair in Clapton
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Clapton
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Clapton included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
