Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can generally put it right.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

FAQs for Abbotsford
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Abbotsford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Abbotsford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When to call us in Abbotsford
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
