Bath repair in Abbeyview, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Abbeyview: your questions answered
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Signs you need bath repair in Abbeyview
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KY11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Abbeyview
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
