Bath repair in Delapré Abbey, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small 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 regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When to call us in Delapré Abbey
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Delapré Abbey. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- 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: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Questions from Delapré Abbey
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
