Bath repair in East Burnham without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Related advice
What we are called out for in East Burnham
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath

Repairing versus replacing in East Burnham
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

East Burnham questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover East Burnham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to East Burnham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
