Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Bath repair at your home in Gipsy Hill
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Also in Gipsy Hill
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Questions from Gipsy Hill
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Gipsy Hill?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Gipsy Hill included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
