Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.
About our bath repair in Quainton
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Quainton
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 a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- One price list for the whole UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Quainton
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Quainton. Prices don’t change with location.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When to call us in Quainton
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
