DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Common questions in Burnopfield
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How much does bath repair cost in Burnopfield?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What we’re called out for in Burnopfield
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your photos
