For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BR6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Crofton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Crofton: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
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.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repair or replace in Crofton?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
