DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How we handle bath repair in Snarestone
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath repair in Snarestone
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What we are called out for in Snarestone
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
Comparing quotes

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Snarestone and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace in Snarestone?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
