How we handle bath repair in Plumstead
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots where the enamel has gone and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

When to call us in Plumstead
Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.

Common questions in Plumstead
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How much does bath repair cost in Plumstead?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Do you cover Plumstead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Plumstead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Repairing versus replacing in Plumstead
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
