How we handle bath repair in Clovenstone
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from Clovenstone
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Clovenstone.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
For a price in Clovenstone, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Clovenstone?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
