Bath repair in Felton, done in place
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Felton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Felton
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
