Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Repairing versus replacing in Dudbridge
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Dudbridge
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When a repair is not the answer

- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
