How we handle bath repair in Dalwood
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Dalwood
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dalwood. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Dalwood?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dalwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Dalwood clients choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Questions from Dalwood
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, 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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
