How we handle bath repair in Red Craig
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Red Craig: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Repairing versus replacing in Red Craig
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Red Craig
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
