- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Bachelor's Bump: your questions answered
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Are there extra charges for Bachelor's Bump?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will the repair show?
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.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bachelor's Bump?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide, so Bachelor's Bump is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you cover Bachelor's Bump?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bachelor's Bump for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
