About our bath repair in Burton Fleming
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Burton Fleming and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Burton Fleming
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
