How we handle bath repair in Exford
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Exford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
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.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Exford questions
Do you cover Exford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Exford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
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?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Signs you need bath repair in Exford
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
