- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How we handle bath repair in Maple Cross
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Maple Cross and across Hertfordshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace in Maple Cross?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Questions from Maple Cross
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Are there extra charges for Maple Cross?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
