Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one 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 a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Draycot Foliat: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Common problems we fix in Draycot Foliat
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Draycot Foliat, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
