Bath repair in Cranford St Andrew without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking

What else we do in Cranford St Andrew
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What affects the price in Cranford St Andrew
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Questions from Cranford St Andrew
How invisible is a bath repair?

Do you work in Cranford St Andrew?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cranford St Andrew. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does bath repair cost?

Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
