What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Manvers questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Manvers.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
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?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Manvers?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Manvers. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Manvers, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Signs you need bath repair in Manvers
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
