Bath repair at your home in Burstock
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, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Burstock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Burstock. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Burstock: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Are there extra charges for Burstock?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
