What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Bath repair in Selsdon, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Selsdon clients choose us
- A fixed quote before you book

When to call us in Selsdon
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Selsdon: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
