Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rutland.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, 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
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Common problems we fix in Egleton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
