Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Bath repair at your home in Eldroth
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Eldroth
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
