Bath repair at your home in Sandyford
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sandyford as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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’s the part we put right.
