Bath repair in Burrells, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Burrells
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath repair in Burrells
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you work in Burrells?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Burrells from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
