Bath repair at your home in BN23
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Repair or replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out 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.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 typically the cheaper route.
What affects the price in BN23
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in BN23
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
BN23 questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
