Bath repair in Cadham, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What affects the price in Cadham
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Cadham
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, 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 picture.
What we are called out for in Cadham
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Cadham
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairing versus replacing in Cadham
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
