Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Bath repair in Bythorn, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t 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
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Bythorn
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
