- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before booking

Bath repair in Springfield, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Springfield: your questions answered
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How much does bath repair cost in Springfield?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Springfield. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
