Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
About our bath repair in Idridgehay
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Idridgehay as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common questions in Idridgehay
How much does bath repair cost in Idridgehay?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE56 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Idridgehay
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Idridgehay. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Idridgehay, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
