Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle bath repair in Alvington
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Alvington questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Alvington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
What affects the price in Alvington
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Alvington, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One price list for the whole UK
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
