About our bath repair in Claxton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Claxton: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
If you are in Claxton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
