Bath repair in Smith's Wood without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: 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’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Questions from Smith's Wood
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Smith's Wood?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Smith's Wood
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:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
