About our bath repair in Bathford
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?

What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bathford?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When to call us in Bathford
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
