- A cracked acrylic bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our bath repair in Tonge
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Tonge
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

FAQs for Tonge
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Tonge.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Landlord and trade work in Tonge
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
