About our bath repair in Budds
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We are frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Budds
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides

- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Budds. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Budds
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material
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 is the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
