Bath repair at your home in St Brides Major
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 frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for St Brides Major
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
