Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
How we handle bath repair in Sandfields
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?

Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you work in Sandfields?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sandfields from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandfields
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
