Bath repair in Gun Hill without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Gun Hill
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs

Your questions about bath repair in Gun Hill
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
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.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
