Bath repair in Direcleit without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common questions in Direcleit
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work in Direcleit?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Direcleit from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Direcleit
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Direcleit, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.
