Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we handle bath repair in Butteryhaugh
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Butteryhaugh
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

What affects the price in Butteryhaugh
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Butteryhaugh. The price reflects:

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Butteryhaugh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Butteryhaugh, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Questions from Butteryhaugh
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
