Bath repair at your home in North End
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
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 without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in North End
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in North End
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
