Bath repair in Drayton, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips under the taps, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Drayton as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Repairing versus replacing in Drayton
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Drayton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Common problems we fix in Drayton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Drayton. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Drayton questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
