Bath repair at your home in SW1V
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Landlords, agents and businesses in SW1V
If you manage property in SW1V, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in SW1V use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
SW1V: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
