How we handle bath repair in Sawley
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Sawley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath repair in Sawley
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Sawley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sawley. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sawley. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we are called out for in Sawley
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Landlord and trade work in Sawley
If you manage property in Sawley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sawley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sawley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
