Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath repair in Lower Dicker without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lower Dicker and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Lower Dicker
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Lower Dicker?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Lower Dicker questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
