The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Scrooby
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps

Scrooby: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repairing versus replacing in Scrooby
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Scrooby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
