Bath repair at your home in Elton
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about rust spots around the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Elton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Elton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Common questions in Elton
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Elton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work in Elton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Elton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- 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 can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Elton, pictures 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlord and trade work in Elton
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Elton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
