Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Beardwood questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Common problems we fix in Beardwood
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
