- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Bath repair in Waterloo, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Waterloo. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Waterloo
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
