Bath repair at your home in Horsley Woodhouse
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsley Woodhouse as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
