About our bath repair in Orleton
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What we’re called out for in Orleton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Orleton
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Orleton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about bath repair in Orleton
How much does bath repair cost in Orleton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
