How we handle bath repair in Clough Dene
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Clough Dene questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Clough Dene?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you come to Clough Dene?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clough Dene for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Clough Dene. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
