Deptford: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are there extra charges for Deptford?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How we handle bath repair in Deptford
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Deptford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Deptford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Deptford. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SE8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Deptford
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
