Bath repair at your home in Forest Moor
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Forest Moor
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Forest Moor?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Forest Moor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Forest Moor
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What else we do in Forest Moor
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we are called out for in Forest Moor
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
