Questions from Southborough
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southborough
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southborough as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
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 is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Do you need bath repair in Southborough?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BR2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
