About bath repair in BL8
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Repairing versus replacing
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and 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 a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Questions from BL8
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, BL8 included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
