Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Landlord and trade work in Bobblestock
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare

- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When to call us in Bobblestock
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
What affects the price in Bobblestock
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
