Bath repair at your home in Heron Cross
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath repair in Heron Cross?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heron Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
