Bath repair in Putney Vale, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and rust by the waste and overflow, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Putney Vale and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Putney Vale questions
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When to call us in Putney Vale
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
What affects the price in Putney Vale
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SW15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
