Your questions about bath repair in Taxal
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Taxal?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SK23 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Bath repair at your home in Taxal
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Taxal
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Taxal. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
