About bath repair in SW15
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What affects the price in SW15
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
FAQs for SW15
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
