Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Swardeston: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Swardeston included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Signs you need bath repair in Swardeston
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
