Bath repair in Eye without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price

What affects the price in Eye
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Eye
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eye use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we’re called out for in Eye
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Questions from Eye
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
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 about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
