How we handle bath repair in Nounsley
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
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, which makes it well 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.
What else we do in Nounsley
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Nounsley: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Nounsley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Nounsley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
