Bath repair in Dunham Town, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Dunham Town?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
