How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need bath repair in Plumstead
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Plumstead. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SE18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Plumstead?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
