Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Questions from Great Berry
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work in Great Berry?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Great Berry. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

- A wider photo showing the whole bath

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Nothing taken out or refitted
