Bath repair across Foots Cray and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we handle bath repair in Foots Cray
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When to call us in Foots Cray
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Foots Cray: your questions answered
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Foots Cray?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
