Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When to call us in Abington Pigotts
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:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common questions in Abington Pigotts
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
