Bath repair at your home in Guildford
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Do you need bath repair in Guildford?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What else we do in Guildford
Guildford: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Guildford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Guildford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Landlord and trade work in Guildford
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
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.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Guildford. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
