Bath chip & crack repair in Thames Ditton, Surrey
We travel to Thames Ditton for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Your questions about bath repair in Thames Ditton
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When to call us in Thames Ditton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thames Ditton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
