Common problems we fix in Merton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

FAQs for Merton
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Merton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
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 is the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Merton
