Bath repair at your home in Candle Street
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Candle Street: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

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 photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Signs you need bath repair in Candle Street
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Candle Street
If you manage property in Candle Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Candle Street as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
