Common problems we fix in Upper Kingston
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Upper Kingston questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Upper Kingston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Upper Kingston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Kingston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
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.
Repair or replace in Upper Kingston?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
