How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Advice
Bath repair in Astwood, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Astwood
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Questions from Astwood
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you come to Astwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Astwood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
