Questions from Further Quarter
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Further Quarter included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
About our bath repair in Further Quarter
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel 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.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Further Quarter, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Further Quarter
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
