Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Neames Forstal. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
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, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.

Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Neames Forstal?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
