Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about bath repair in Fackley
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fackley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common problems we fix in Fackley
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
