How bath repair works in KT1
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
What it costs in KT1
Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in KT1 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around KT1, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How the damage happens
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
KT1 questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
