Common questions in The Valley
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
About our bath repair in The Valley
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and holes from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace in The Valley?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
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 is the part we put right.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
What affects the price in The Valley
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
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 The Valley?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish
