Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Your questions about bath repair in Fulwell
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Fulwell. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need bath repair in Fulwell?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
