When to call us in Bulmer
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Bath repair in Bulmer, done in place

There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and holes from dropped items.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about bath repair in Bulmer
How much does bath repair cost in Bulmer?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Bulmer.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bulmer. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
