Bath repair at your home in Intake
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Intake as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Signs you need bath repair in Intake
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
What affects the price in Intake
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Intake. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Intake
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
