Bath repair at your home in Scopwick
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Scopwick
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again

Scopwick: your questions answered
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover Scopwick?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Scopwick. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
