- Repairs from £95

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Your questions about bath repair in West Butterwick
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
