How we handle bath repair in Sutton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Sutton
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton
For anyone letting property in or around Sutton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
