Bath repair at your home in Buttsbury
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
In a village or hamlet like Buttsbury, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Repairing in place avoids that.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace in Buttsbury?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Replacement in Buttsbury means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Buttsbury clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buttsbury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
