When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

How we handle bath repair in Sapley
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sapley
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sapley questions
Are there extra charges for Sapley?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
