About our bath repair in Houghton Conquest
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

About bath chip & crack repair
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
