Bath repair in Cruckmeole without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Cruckmeole
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Cruckmeole
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cruckmeole as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Common questions in Cruckmeole
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Are there extra charges for Cruckmeole?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cruckmeole. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Cruckmeole
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cruckmeole. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
