About our bath repair in Sidcup
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We are frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Sidcup
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sidcup as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
FAQs for Sidcup
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

What else we do in Sidcup
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair in Sidcup
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
