Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Questions from Apes Dale
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Apes Dale?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Apes Dale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Repairing versus replacing in Apes Dale
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Apes Dale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

If you manage property in Apes Dale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When to call us in Apes Dale
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
