About bath repair in TW9
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the damage happens
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
FAQs for TW9
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for bath repair in TW9?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
