Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for California. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in California
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common questions in California
Which areas do you work in?
All of Wokingham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover California?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to California. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
