Bow questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
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 will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not 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 are filled and matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Bow
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
