How we handle bath repair in Sproxton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Sproxton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we are called out for in Sproxton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Sproxton: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
