About our bath repair in Upton
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with chips under the taps and impact holes in acrylic, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Your questions about bath repair in Upton
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Upton?
We do. We send a technician to Upton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Upton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Upton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Upton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Upton
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
