About bath repair in SL9
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.

What we’re called out for in SL9
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Your questions about bath repair in SL9
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for bath repair in SL9?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SL9 postcode.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
