How bath repair works in WD17
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Pricing in WD17
Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What we’re called out for in WD17
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
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.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in WD17 get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
WD17 questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
