Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
South Merstham questions
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including South Merstham and the rest of Surrey. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in South Merstham.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in South Merstham
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
