Bath repair in Cann Common, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
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 so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
When to call us in Cann Common
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items

Your questions about bath repair in Cann Common
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SP7 postcode.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Cann Common
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Cann Common
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
