How we handle bath repair in Craster
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath repair in Craster
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole

What affects the price in Craster
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Craster. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Craster. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Craster
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Questions from Craster
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are there extra charges for Craster?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Craster?
We do. We send a technician to Craster for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How much does bath repair cost in Craster?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
