Repair or replace in Slack Head?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.

Bath repair in Slack Head, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What else we do in Slack Head
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Do you need bath repair in Slack Head?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about bath repair in Slack Head
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
