About bath repair in SG1
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for SG1. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How the damage happens
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
