Bath repair in Bowmans, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowmans
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowmans use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
FAQs for Bowmans
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Repairing versus replacing in Bowmans
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bowmans. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Common problems we fix in Bowmans
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Bowmans and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
