Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
About our bath repair in Daws Heath
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Daws Heath and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Daws Heath
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally 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 leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Daws Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
