DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Bradwell questions
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you work in Bradwell?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bradwell and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
If you are in Bradwell and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
