Bath repair at your home in The Village
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. 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. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about bath repair in The Village
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in The Village.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you need bath repair in The Village?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole

Landlord and trade work in The Village
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
