About our bath repair in Dandy Corner
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When to call us in Dandy Corner
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic

- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dandy Corner as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
