Bath repair at your home in Sutton-on-the-Forest
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Common problems we fix in Sutton-on-the-Forest
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
