Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Bath repair in South Dell without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath repair in South Dell
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, 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 photo.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you need bath repair in South Dell?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
