Bath repair in Cadle without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Cadle, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Cadle questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Cadle
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Common problems we fix in Cadle
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
