Bath repair at your home in Bainsford
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bainsford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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 what we repair.
What we’re called out for in Bainsford
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bainsford
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Bainsford: your questions answered
Do you work in Bainsford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bainsford. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
