Bath repair in Littleworth without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in Littleworth
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Littleworth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Littleworth
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
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.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
