DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Crew's Hole
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
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 body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common questions in Crew's Hole
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Repair or replace in Crew's Hole?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
