About our bath repair in Appleshaw
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Appleshaw, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Common questions in Appleshaw
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain 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.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
