How it works

- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Different materials, different repairs
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 what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Litlington
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Do you need bath repair in Litlington?
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

What affects the price in Litlington
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Litlington. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Your questions about bath repair in Litlington
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
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.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Are there extra charges for Litlington?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
