Your questions about bath repair in Dukes
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
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.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Bath repair in Dukes, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Our visits in HR3 are booked in the same way as anywhere else.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
For a price in Dukes, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
