How we handle bath repair in Sandling
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sandling. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandling as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Sandling customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are

When to call us in Sandling
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Sandling contact us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
