Bath repair at your home in Laddingford
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Laddingford: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
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.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Are there extra charges for Laddingford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before you book
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
