Repairing versus replacing in Netherwood Heath
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit

Bath repair in Netherwood Heath, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Netherwood Heath
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B93 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Netherwood Heath
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
