How we handle bath repair in Downside
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Downside
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What we’re called out for in Downside
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
