About our bath repair in Offord D'Arcy
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Signs you need bath repair in Offord D'Arcy
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What affects the price in Offord D'Arcy
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Offord D'Arcy. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

- Whirlpool & spa baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Offord D'Arcy
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Offord D'Arcy as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
