Bath repair in Kew without replacing anything
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a hole punched through by something heavy.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Kew
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Kew
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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Questions from Kew
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Kew?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kew for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How much does bath repair cost in Kew?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What affects the price in Kew
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Do you need bath repair in Kew?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
