Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Apsley
Are there extra charges for Apsley?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How invisible is a bath repair?
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.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you work in Apsley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Apsley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common problems we fix in Apsley
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Apsley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
