Bath repair at your home in Carlton Husthwaite
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Your questions about bath repair in Carlton Husthwaite
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How much does bath repair cost in Carlton Husthwaite?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
