- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Diseworth
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Diseworth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace in Diseworth?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
For a price in Diseworth, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Questions from Diseworth
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Diseworth?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Diseworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
