Bath repair in Firth Park without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Firth Park. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Firth Park, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Firth Park questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
