How we handle bath repair in Fernhill
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners 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 it can start to leak underneath.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. 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. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fernhill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What we’re called out for in Fernhill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
