Bath repair in Burnham without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips on the rim or sides.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Burnham
Do you cover Burnham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Burnham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Burnham
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Burnham. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Burnham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
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 two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
