Bath repair at your home in Upper Ifield
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Ifield
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Ifield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
What we are called out for in Upper Ifield
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
