Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Questions from Fairwater
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairwater use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Other services in Fairwater
What we are called out for in Fairwater
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Normally one visit, start to finish

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Fairwater get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, 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.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
