Bath repair in High Dubmire, done in place
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. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Signs you need bath repair in High Dubmire
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
