Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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 King's Caple
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

King's Caple questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Are there extra charges for King's Caple?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including King's Caple. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
