About our bath repair in Blackhall
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackhall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Most jobs done in one visit

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
FAQs for Blackhall
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
When to call us in Blackhall
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
