Bath repair in Scole, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Scole
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Scole?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
