Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Stanstead Abbotts
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
