Bath repair in Quarrington Hill, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Quarrington Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Quarrington Hill
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for these signs:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quarrington Hill questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Roll-top & freestanding
