Bath repair at your home in Upper Harbledown
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
