About bath repair in DG3
We’ve repaired just about 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 work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When we would 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
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
DG3: your questions answered
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
