Repair or replace in Mannings Heath?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Mannings Heath
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Signs you need bath repair in Mannings Heath
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Mannings Heath
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
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 without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
