How we handle bath repair in Prospect Village
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Prospect Village
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Prospect Village questions
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
