Signs you need bath repair in Little London
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: 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
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow

About our bath repair in Little London
A damaged bath doesn’t 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. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.

Little London questions
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you cover Little London?
We do. We send a technician to Little London for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
