Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair in Astley Burf without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Astley Burf
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
