Bath repair at your home in Sedgwick
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Sedgwick
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Sedgwick
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
