FAQs for Evenwood
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How much does bath repair cost in Evenwood?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Evenwood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Signs you need bath repair in Evenwood
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Evenwood
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Evenwood. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Evenwood get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
