Local bath repair for Water Run: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
How we handle bath repair in Water Run
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. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Water Run and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Water Run. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
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 the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
