Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Bath repair in Glassonby, done in place
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. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we are called out for in Glassonby
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
