About bath repair in AB42
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we are called out for in AB42
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Common questions in AB42
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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.
How do I get a price for bath repair in AB42?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
