How we handle bath repair in Flowton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Flowton. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Flowton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
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.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Landlord and trade work in Flowton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we are called out for in Flowton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Flowton questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
