Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Castlehill without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What else we do in Castlehill
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we’re called out for in Castlehill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
