Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair at your home in Sandford
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

FAQs for Sandford
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandford
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
