Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Congelow without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Congelow as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Congelow
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What else we do in Congelow
Repairing versus replacing in Congelow
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- A fixed quote before booking

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Congelow. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Your questions about bath repair in Congelow
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Common problems we fix in Congelow
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
