DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle bath repair in Handley
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Handley. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Handley: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
