Bath repair in Lewisham without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Common problems we fix in Lewisham

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.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Questions from Lewisham

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lewisham.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How invisible is a bath 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 does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
