- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Why repair rather than replace?
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 typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we handle bath repair in Horne
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and holes from dropped items.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Horne and across Surrey.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we are called out for in Horne
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Horne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
FAQs for Horne
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
