About our bath repair in Founthill
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Founthill
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Founthill
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Founthill. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
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 quote without visiting.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath repair in Founthill
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, 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.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Founthill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Founthill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
