Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Bath repair at your home in Claygate
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 sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Claygate questions
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Claygate?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Claygate customers choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Claygate
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
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.
What we are called out for in Claygate
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
