Bath repair at your home in Walby
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. We’re often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips caused by builders, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Walby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
FAQs for Walby
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
