Bath repair at your home in BT80
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and snagging damage from a refit.
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

Signs you need bath repair
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairing versus replacing
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 the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.

FAQs for BT80
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
