How we handle bath repair in Queen's Bower
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Queen's Bower. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Queen's Bower
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Queen's Bower. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What else we do in Queen's Bower
Do you need bath repair in Queen's Bower?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
