Bath repair in St Brides, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Common problems we fix in St Brides
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit

Landlord and trade work in St Brides
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

FAQs for St Brides
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NP10 postcode.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in St Brides.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
