Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
When to call us in Helpringham
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Your questions about bath repair in Helpringham
Are there extra charges for Helpringham?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Helpringham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. 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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
