Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath repair in Kennington without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath repair in Kennington
How much does bath repair cost in Kennington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

What else we do in Kennington
When to call us in Kennington
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
