Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair at your home in Culverhouse Cross
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Common questions in Culverhouse Cross
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, 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.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Culverhouse Cross
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
