What we do, step by step

- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Advice
About our bath repair in Cauldwell
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Cauldwell
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cauldwell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What affects the price in Cauldwell

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your MK42 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
