Bath repair at your home in Bilberry
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Bilberry: your questions answered
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we’re called out for in Bilberry
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bilberry. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlord and trade work in Bilberry
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
