- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Bath repair at your home in East Bowling
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in East Bowling and across Bradford.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

East Bowling: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in East Bowling
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to East Bowling. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in East Bowling, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
