Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

About our bath repair in Boardy Green
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Boardy Green
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Boardy Green questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Boardy Green. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
