Bath Repair in Straiton
We travel to Straiton for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How we handle bath repair in Straiton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and a cracked acrylic bath.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KA19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from Straiton
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Straiton
- Roll-top & freestanding

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
