About our bath repair in Farr
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What affects the price in Farr
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Farr. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Farr. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Farr
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
