Bath repair in Drayton, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and impact holes in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Drayton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Drayton
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually 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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Your questions about bath repair in Drayton
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
