Bath repair in Purley without replacing anything
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and chips caused by builders, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Purley
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Purley
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
