Bath repair in Kingston without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Kingston
Are there extra charges for Kingston?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kingston.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Kingston
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kingston. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingston
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Kingston
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
