Your questions about bath repair in Houghton on the Hill
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What else we do in Houghton on the Hill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Houghton on the Hill
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
