About our bath repair in Newington Butts
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newington Butts. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit

Newington Butts questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
When to call us in Newington Butts
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
If you are in Newington Butts and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
