What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in St Margarets without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common questions in St Margarets
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in St Margarets?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to St Margarets. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for St Margarets?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Herefordshire.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Margarets
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Common problems we fix in St Margarets
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
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 a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
