Bath repair at your home in Dyer's Green
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. 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. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, we can usually put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Dyer's Green: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Dyer's Green?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Repair or replace in Dyer's Green?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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’s the part we put right.
What we’re called out for in Dyer's Green
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
