Bath repair in Crockernwell without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What we are called out for in Crockernwell
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What affects the price in Crockernwell
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crockernwell. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Crockernwell get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
