What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Are you a vetted contractor?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yardley Gobion

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Yardley Gobion. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- 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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What we are called out for in Yardley Gobion
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
