About our bath repair in Dragley Beck

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dragley Beck. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Dragley Beck

When can I have a bath again?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Dragley Beck is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Dragley Beck

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
