How bath repair works in DA16
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole.
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Cost
Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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 we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need bath repair
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
DA16: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
We work UK-wide, and that includes DA16. Our prices are the same everywhere.
