Bath repair at your home in GU7
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Common problems we fix in GU7
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in GU7 contact us are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in GU7, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
GU7 questions
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including GU7 and the rest of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
