About our bath repair in Criddlestyle
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Criddlestyle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Criddlestyle
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are there extra charges for Criddlestyle?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work in Criddlestyle?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Criddlestyle and the rest of Hampshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Do you need bath repair in Criddlestyle?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
