- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Bath repair in Sydenham Hill, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sydenham Hill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sydenham Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace in Sydenham Hill?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
