How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Common questions in King's Newton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you work in King's Newton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to King's Newton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in King's Newton

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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
