Redcloak: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
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 access behind the panel is important.
Do you cover Redcloak?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Redcloak from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Redcloak. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Redcloak
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What else we do in Redcloak
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
