About our bath repair in Upper Biggin
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Biggin use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
