DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.
How we handle bath repair in Nutbourne
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Nutbourne
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Nutbourne: your questions answered
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Nutbourne?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Nutbourne included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Nutbourne?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Nutbourne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
