About our bath repair in Cratfield
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in Cratfield
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Cratfield
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
