Repairing versus replacing in Eltringham
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site

Bath repair at your home in Eltringham
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We are often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

What else we do in Eltringham
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Eltringham
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Eltringham
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eltringham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
