Our bath repair service in CF36
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. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
FAQs for CF36
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you come to CF36?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to CF36 from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
