Bath Repair in Clare
Local bath repair for Clare: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
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, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Bath repair in Clare, done in place
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clare. What changes the price is:

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, 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, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items 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 can start.
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.
