About bath repair in B38
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit.
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in B38 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Common questions in B38
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, 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.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
