Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the entire UK
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Common questions in West Challow
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in West Challow
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
