Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Bath repair at your home in Bacton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bacton and across Herefordshire.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have 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 let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bacton: your questions answered
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you need bath repair in Bacton?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site

Repairing versus replacing in Bacton
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Bacton clients choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
