Your questions about bath repair in Foundry
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do you come to Foundry?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Foundry. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Foundry is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Bath repair in Foundry without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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 it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foundry use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we are called out for in Foundry
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
