Bath repair in Cringles without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Cringles
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cringles use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What we’re called out for in Cringles
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
