The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Your questions about bath repair in St Mabyn
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Repairing versus replacing in St Mabyn
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
