Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
About our bath repair in Fen Drayton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Fen Drayton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath repair in Fen Drayton
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we’re called out for in Fen Drayton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your photos
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
