Bath repair at your home in Plastow Green
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 sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Plastow Green
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work in Plastow Green?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Plastow Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What we’re called out for in Plastow Green
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

What affects the price in Plastow Green
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Plastow Green. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
