Your questions about bath repair in Crofton Park
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repairing versus replacing in Crofton Park
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 are paying for.

What we are called out for in Crofton Park
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
What affects the price in Crofton Park
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
