Bath repair in Setley without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Setley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Do you need bath repair in Setley?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Setley: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, 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 picture.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Setley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
