Bath repair in Deadwater without replacing anything
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Deadwater. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GU35 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Deadwater, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Do you need bath repair in Deadwater?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
