Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
About our bath repair in Draycott
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Draycott questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Draycott?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DE72 postcode.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repair or replace in Draycott?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Draycott. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Draycott, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
