How we handle bath repair in Gravelly Hill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and cracks in an acrylic bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
