Bath repair in Lewiston without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and chips on the rim or sides, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Lewiston: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Lewiston
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
