How the visit works

- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

About our bath repair in Crofton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Crofton
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Are there extra charges for Crofton?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What we are called out for in Crofton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crofton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Crofton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What else we do in Crofton
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
