Bath repair at your home in Horam
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and snagging damage from a refit, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Horam
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

Common questions in Horam
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are there extra charges for Horam?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Horam. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
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. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
