What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Bath repair at your home in Frilford Heath
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Common questions in Frilford Heath
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need bath repair in Frilford Heath?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
