- Repairs from £95

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How we handle bath repair in Saltwood
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Saltwood
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.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are there extra charges for Saltwood?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Repair or replace in Saltwood?
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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why Saltwood customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in Saltwood?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in Saltwood
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
