Bath repair at your home in Atlow
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 frequently lifts.
