Bath repair at your home in Blackfell
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What affects the price in Blackfell
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Blackfell. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackfell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Other services in Blackfell
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

- Whirlpool & spa baths

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairing versus replacing in Blackfell
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Blackfell: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need bath repair in Blackfell?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
