About our bath repair in Middle Crackington
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath repair in Middle Crackington
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we’re called out for in Middle Crackington
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
