How we handle bath repair in Bishop's Sutton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bishop's Sutton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Bishop's Sutton
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

For anyone letting property in or around Bishop's Sutton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Bishop's Sutton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
