Bath repair in Glassenbury, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
FAQs for Glassenbury
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Glassenbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
