Bath repair in Baughton, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and damage beneath the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common questions in Baughton
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
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.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Baughton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
