How we handle bath repair in Herne Hill
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Herne Hill
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Herne Hill
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Herne Hill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Herne Hill
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
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.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
