How we handle bath repair in Abington
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and deep scratches in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Abington
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Abington. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Abington questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How much does bath repair cost in Abington?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NN3 postcode.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
