Repairing versus replacing in Little Creaton
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Bath repair in Little Creaton, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath.
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.

Signs you need bath repair in Little Creaton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients normally contact us about:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Most clients in Little Creaton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Your questions about bath repair in Little Creaton
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
