Bath repair in Street End without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Street End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us

- Most jobs done in one visit

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
