DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Bath repair in Cranhill, done in place
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cranhill. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cranhill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Cranhill
Will the price change on the day?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
