Common questions in Crostwight
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Crostwight?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Bath repair at your home in Crostwight
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
