Can I fix it myself?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle bath repair in Plummers Plain
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plummers Plain use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

FAQs for Plummers Plain
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Plummers Plain
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- 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.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
