Your questions about bath repair in Corton
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Corton included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Corton. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Corton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
