Landlords, agents and businesses in St Clement's
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in St Clement's

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in St Clement's and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Common questions in St Clement's
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When to call us in St Clement's
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
