Bath repair at your home in South Bank
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about holes from dropped items and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in South Bank, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace in South Bank?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

South Bank questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover South Bank?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to South Bank. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for bath repair in South Bank?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common problems we fix in South Bank
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
