Bath repair at your home in Hither Green
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and holes from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hither Green and across Greater London.

Hither Green: your questions answered
Do you work in Hither Green?
We do. We send a technician to Hither Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Hither Green
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
