Bath repair across SW8: what to expect
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and chips on the rim or sides.
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Signs you need bath repair
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Landlord and trade work in SW8
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
