About our bath repair in Eltham
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Eltham and across Greater London.

Repairing versus replacing in Eltham
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are

- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Eltham questions
Do you come to Eltham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Eltham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
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.
How much does bath repair cost in Eltham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Eltham
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
