Repair or replace in Sutton Bonington?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bath repair in Sutton Bonington without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
