Bath repair at your home in Downham
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

FAQs for Downham
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NR18 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Downham is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What affects the price in Downham
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Downham. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Downham
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Signs you need bath repair in Downham
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
