About our bath repair in Husborne Crawley
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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Husborne Crawley and across Bedford Borough.

Your questions about bath repair in Husborne Crawley
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in Husborne Crawley
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Landlord and trade work in Husborne Crawley
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bedford Borough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Husborne Crawley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
