Bath repair at your home in Wandsworth
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
Most clients in Wandsworth get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
