About bath repair in CM11
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and damage beneath the taps, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
What it costs in CM11
Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. 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.

What affects the price in CM11
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in CM11 get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What we are called out for in CM11
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in CM11 contact us are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
