Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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 the part we put right.
Bath repair at your home in Tooting
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and chips caused by builders, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tooting and across Greater London.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.

Common questions in Tooting
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Are there extra charges for Tooting?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We cover the whole UK, including Tooting and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Tooting
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Tooting contact us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SW17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
