How bath repair works in SE1P
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
What it costs in SE1P
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in SE1P, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in SE1P
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Your questions about bath repair in SE1P
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you come to SE1P?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to SE1P. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
When can you do it?
