When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Babcary
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Questions from Babcary
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover Babcary?
We do. Technicians travel to Babcary from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Babcary. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
