Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Your questions about bath repair in Bescar
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you come to Bescar?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bescar from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Bescar
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Bescar, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
