Our bath repair service in CR8
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What it costs in CR8
Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
CR8 questions
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
