Bath repair in Beggar Hill without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

More services for Beggar Hill
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Common problems we fix in Beggar Hill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
