Bath repair at your home in Buckland
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What else we do in Buckland
For landlords and businesses

Questions from Buckland
Do you come to Buckland?
We do. We send a technician to Buckland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are there extra charges for Buckland?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Buckland. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
