Bath repair at your home in New Cross
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
If you’re in New Cross and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When to call us in New Cross
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for New Cross. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for New Cross
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
