About our bath repair in Foxhole
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Foxhole
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need bath repair in Foxhole?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace in Foxhole?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
