Bath repair at your home in Elephant and Castle
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Common questions in Elephant and Castle
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Elephant and Castle included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
When to call us in Elephant and Castle
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
