Bath repair in Crossway without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We are often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, 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. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Do you need bath repair in Crossway?
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
What affects the price in Crossway
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
FAQs for Crossway
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Crossway?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Crossway and the rest of Herefordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much does bath repair cost in Crossway?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your HR1 postcode.

What else we do in Crossway
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crossway use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
