Your questions about bath repair in Clun
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
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.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How we handle bath repair in Clun
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Clun and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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 body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Clun
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairing versus replacing in Clun
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before you book
