Bath repair in Wimbledon Chase, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wimbledon Chase as everywhere else we work.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Your questions about bath repair in Wimbledon Chase
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wimbledon Chase. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
