Bath repair at your home in Walpole
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, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Walpole and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Walpole
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need bath repair in Walpole?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
