- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath

Bath repair in Ubbeston, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Ubbeston
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Ubbeston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ubbeston. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
