When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Orton?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions from Orton
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Orton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Orton. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
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.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
