Bath repair in Lower Horncroft, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in Lower Horncroft
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Horncroft. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in Lower Horncroft
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Repair or replace in Lower Horncroft?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before you book
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
