Our bath repair service in KT3
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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 it costs in KT3

Local landmarks in New Malden
We visit homes around New Malden Baptist Church, The Glasshouse pub and Beverley Park, among other places. Also close by are Christ Church New Malden CofE Primary School (within half a mile north-east) and Holy Cross School (under half a mile south). There is a railway station in New Malden itself: New Malden station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Wimbledon Museum (2.5 miles north-east) and Municipal Borough of Malden and Coombe (less than half a mile south-east). The countryside around New Malden includes Rose Walk and Kingston Hill Road area.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in KT3, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Signs you need bath repair
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Landlords, agents and businesses in KT3
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
KT3: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
