Bath repair in Great Bowden, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Great Bowden and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Great Bowden
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Great Bowden is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Bowden
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Great Bowden. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Great Bowden
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
