Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Three Mile Cross
Are there extra charges for Three Mile Cross?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you cover Three Mile Cross?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Three Mile Cross. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do you need bath repair in Three Mile Cross?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What else we do in Three Mile Cross
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Three Mile Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
