FAQs for Baffins
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Bath repair in Baffins without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Repair or replace in Baffins?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Baffins and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
