If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Bath repair in Flackley Ash without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need bath repair in Flackley Ash
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath repair in Flackley Ash
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Flackley Ash?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Flackley Ash. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Flackley Ash. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
