Bath repair in Anthony's Cross, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Anthony's Cross
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Anthony's Cross
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from Anthony's Cross
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Anthony's Cross. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Anthony's Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Anthony's Cross, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
