- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

When to call us in Cowley
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Common questions in Cowley
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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’s the part we put right.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
