Bath repair in Burston 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. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

FAQs for Burston
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX17 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When to call us in Burston
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
What affects the price in Burston
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Burston. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
