Bath repair at your home in Clavering
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Clavering
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 I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need bath repair in Clavering?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic

- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Generally one visit, start to finish

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
