How we handle bath repair in Merton Park
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common questions in Merton Park
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you come to Merton Park?
We do. We send a technician to Merton Park for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Repairing versus replacing in Merton Park
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.

Common problems we fix in Merton Park
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.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merton Park as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
