Bath repair in Empshott without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Empshott
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover Empshott?
We do. We send a technician to Empshott for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Empshott. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Empshott

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
