Our bath repair service in CT1
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- 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.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
How the damage happens
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
