DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What happens on the day
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 typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
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.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Nether Broughton?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs

Questions from Nether Broughton
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover Nether Broughton?

Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
