Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair in Guide Post, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Guide Post questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace in Guide Post?
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 a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. 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.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Signs you need bath repair in Guide Post
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
