Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Bath repair in Netherhay without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
