Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
About our bath repair in Albourne
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Albourne
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before booking anyone

- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Albourne, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Albourne
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common questions in Albourne
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover Albourne?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Albourne. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
