About our bath repair in Belthorn
A damaged bath does not 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. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Belthorn as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Belthorn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What else we do in Belthorn
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When to call us in Belthorn
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

- What protection goes down before work starts

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
