Bath repair in Benover without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. 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. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benover use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Benover
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover Benover?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Benover from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
