Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Bath repair in Bearton without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Bearton questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Bearton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bearton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bearton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Other services in Bearton
Repair or replace in Bearton?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bearton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Bearton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being 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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bearton. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it

- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
