About our bath repair in Ablington
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Ablington
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Ablington
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
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.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
