How we handle bath repair in Wallington
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Wallington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Wallington

- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wallington?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SM6 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What we’re called out for in Wallington
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
