How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
About our bath repair in Boxford
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace in Boxford?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Common questions in Boxford
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we are called out for in Boxford
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
