What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we’re called out for in Crumlin
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repairing versus replacing in Crumlin
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Your questions about bath repair in Crumlin
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Crumlin?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
