About our bath repair in Cranfield
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repair or replace in Cranfield?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
You do not 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 quote.
Common problems we fix in Cranfield
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
FAQs for Cranfield
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover Cranfield?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cranfield and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cranfield.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
