Bath repair in Dean without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We are often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dean use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dean. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Repairing versus replacing in Dean
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Dean
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Dean questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover Dean?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dean. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
