What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Bath repair at your home in Ford
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks in an acrylic bath and chips caused by builders.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
When to call us in Ford
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
How to get 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.

Your questions about bath repair in Ford
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Ford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Landlord and trade work in Ford
If you manage property in Ford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
