About bath repair in AB11
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Pricing in AB11
Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in AB11 use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common problems we fix in AB11
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in AB11, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
AB11: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
