How we handle bath repair in Forest Town
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Forest Town
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Forest Town
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Forest Town
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Forest Town
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
