Bath repair in Sandon, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandon
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Sandon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Common problems we fix in Sandon
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
Other services in Sandon
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sandon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Sandon: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sandon.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
