Bath repair in Cults without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Your questions about bath repair in Cults
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much does bath repair cost in Cults?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we’re called out for in Cults
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Cults
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
