Bath repair at your home in Burnedge
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Burnedge
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What else we do in Burnedge
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Burnedge. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burnedge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Burnedge, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
