What we do, step by step

- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Advice
About our bath repair in Wattisfield
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wattisfield use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Wattisfield and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
