Our bath repair service in DT5
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow.
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Pricing in DT5

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Common problems we fix in DT5
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
