Typical jobs include chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlord and trade work in Inkford
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Worcestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- 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.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Inkford
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
