How we handle bath repair in Davington
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Common questions in Davington
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Davington?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Davington
If you manage property in Davington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Davington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace in Davington?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
