What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Bath repair in Aldreth, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Aldreth. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Aldreth
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldreth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Aldreth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Aldreth
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
