Bath repair in Strete, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Common questions in Strete
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Strete. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Strete, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Strete?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
