Our bath repair service in KA17
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
What you will pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in KA17
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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 what we repair.
Questions from KA17
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
