When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Farther Howegreen questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Farther Howegreen included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you need bath repair in Farther Howegreen?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Farther Howegreen
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
