About our bath repair in Craobh Haven
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
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.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

What we’re called out for in Craobh Haven
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not 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 the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
