About our bath repair in Fleeden
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
For a price in Fleeden, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 normally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Fleeden
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
