Bath Repair for Drybridge homes
Bath repair across Drybridge and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair at your home in Drybridge
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. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

- Whether we combine several jobs

- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
