Bath repair at your home in Great Canney
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What we’re called out for in Great Canney
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Great Canney questions
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you cover Great Canney?
We do. Technicians travel to Great Canney from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Canney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

What affects the price in Great Canney
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
