Bath repair across KT24: what to expect
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow.
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What’s near East Horsley
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Raleigh School, Church of St Martin and The Forest and the Highlands, among other places. You will also find Howard of Effingham School (1.5 miles east) and Duke Of Wellington Public House (1 mile south). East Horsley has its own railway station: Horsley station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Send and Ripley History Society Museum (3.2 miles north-west). The countryside around East Horsley includes Papercourt Marshes and Boldermere Lake.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in KT24
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for KT24. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
KT24: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
