Bath repair at your home in LA20
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic.
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Ask for a price

What we are called out for in LA20
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Landlords, agents and businesses in LA20
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for LA20. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
LA20: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
