Our bath repair service in SE23
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Signs you need bath repair
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Your questions about bath repair in SE23
How much does bath repair cost in SE23?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
We work UK-wide, and that includes SE23. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
