Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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 the part we put right.
Repairing versus replacing in Singlewell or Ifield
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Singlewell or Ifield
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
