Repairing versus replacing in Bitterley
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 deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

About our bath repair in Bitterley
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Your questions about bath repair in Bitterley
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bitterley.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Bitterley
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
