The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Bowesfield
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Bowesfield
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Common problems we fix in Bowesfield
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
