How we handle bath repair in Sutton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sutton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Common questions in Sutton
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Common problems we fix in Sutton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
