Tophill questions
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Luton.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How we handle bath repair in Tophill
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tophill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Tophill
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Tophill
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
