- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
About our bath repair in Needingworth
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. Most baths can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need bath repair in Needingworth?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
