Your questions about bath repair in Bradwell Waterside
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Common problems we fix in Bradwell Waterside
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for these signs:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
Landlord and trade work in Bradwell Waterside
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradwell Waterside use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
