How we handle bath repair in Richmond upon Thames
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Richmond upon Thames
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
FAQs for Richmond upon Thames
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will I be able to see the 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.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
