Common problems we fix in Walpole St Andrew
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
About our bath repair in Walpole St Andrew
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, 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.
Getting a price from pictures

Your questions about bath repair in Walpole St Andrew
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
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 often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
