Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
About our bath repair in Croft
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and rust by the waste and overflow.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What we are called out for in Croft
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Common questions in Croft
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Croft?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Croft for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Croft. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
