Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip.

How we price bath repair

- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Do you need bath repair in Hazelwood?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
