Bath repair in Joys Green without replacing anything
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. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and snagging damage from a refit.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Joys Green
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Joys Green
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
