How bath repair works in SW12
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Prices in SW12

What affects the price in SW12
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Common questions in SW12
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How much does bath repair cost in SW12?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work in SW12?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to SW12 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
