- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business

Bath repair in Cross without replacing anything
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chipped rim or side.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Cross
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Cross
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Cross is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you need bath repair in Cross?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
