Bath repair at your home in Downton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Do you need bath repair in Downton?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Downton contact us include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Downton: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Downton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does bath repair cost in Downton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SP5 postcode.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Downton?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Downton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
