How we handle bath repair in Townhill
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Townhill
If you manage property in Townhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Townhill
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
