Bath repair in Mortlake without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mortlake as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
Everywhere in the UK, Mortlake included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When to call us in Mortlake
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
