How we handle bath repair in Buntingsdale Estate
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Buntingsdale Estate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What we’re called out for in Buntingsdale Estate
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work

Buntingsdale Estate questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
