About our bath repair in Baldwinholme

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Baldwinholme: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

How much does bath repair cost in Baldwinholme?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Common problems we fix in Baldwinholme

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Baldwinholme

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
