Our bath repair service in SN5
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side.
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we are called out for in SN5
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about bath repair in SN5
Do you cover SN5?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to SN5 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
