What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Bath repair in Pear Tree, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

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 the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pear Tree. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pear Tree
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Pear Tree: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
