How we handle bath repair in Runswick Bay
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Runswick Bay: your questions answered
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common problems we fix in Runswick Bay
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
