We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips under the taps.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Questions from Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
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 baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
