About our bath repair in Southfields
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Southfields: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
We cover the whole UK, including Southfields and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Southfields. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Southfields. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Southfields, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we are called out for in Southfields
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
