Bath repair at your home in Upton
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and a chipped rim or side.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Upton: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Landlord and trade work in Upton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Upton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 is what we repair.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
