Questions from Vines Cross
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Vines Cross
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Repairing versus replacing in Vines Cross
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Vines Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
