Bath repair at your home in Little Horton
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Little Horton
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Little Horton
Why repair rather than replace?

Why book with us

- One visit for most repairs
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Little Horton questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
When to call us in Little Horton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items

- What preparation is included
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Little Horton
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
