Bath repair in Streatley, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a cracked acrylic bath, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Streatley
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps

Questions from Streatley
Do you come to Streatley?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Streatley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How much does bath repair cost in Streatley?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Streatley included. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Streatley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
