Bath repair at your home in Birdwell
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
If you’re in Birdwell and want a price, 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.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Birdwell questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
