How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Your questions about bath repair in Crawford
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How much does bath repair cost in Crawford?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Crawford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Crawford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repairing versus replacing in Crawford
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
