How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When to call us in Healeyfield
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Questions from Healeyfield
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Healeyfield?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
