Bath repair in Speen, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Speen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
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.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Common questions in Speen
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Speen included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Common problems we fix in Speen
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
