Bath repair at your home in Crompton
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: 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. If you’re dealing with holes from dropped items and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have 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 protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Crompton
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
