Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
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 quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Sowley Green questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
