How we handle bath repair in Horton Heath
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Horton Heath
Do you come to Horton Heath?
We do. Technicians travel to Horton Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What we are called out for in Horton Heath
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Roll-top & freestanding

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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
