Bath repair in Waterfoot without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Waterfoot
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
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.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

Waterfoot: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Waterfoot?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Waterfoot?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Waterfoot
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Waterfoot. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterfoot
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
