About our bath repair in Cruxton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and snagging damage from a refit, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cruxton as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Cruxton?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Cruxton
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

When to call us in Cruxton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Cruxton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
