Bath repair in South Acton without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Acton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Do you need bath repair in South Acton?
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in South Acton
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including South Acton. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in South Acton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
FAQs for South Acton

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
