Bath repair at your home in Acres Nook
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Acres Nook
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Acres Nook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
If you are in Acres Nook and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about bath repair in Acres Nook
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover Acres Nook?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Acres Nook for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
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 you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
