Our bath repair service in SE18
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in SE18
Is there a call-out fee?

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
