About our bath repair in Downley
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We’re often asked to fix holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Downley
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we are called out for in Downley
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
Repair or replace in Downley?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Downley
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
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.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
