DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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 it pays to deal with it early.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about bath repair in Elmstone Hardwicke
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you come to Elmstone Hardwicke?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Elmstone Hardwicke from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Elmstone Hardwicke, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
