Bath repair in Cadley without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repair or replace in Cadley?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cadley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cadley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
