How bath repair works in FK1
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. 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. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
Cost
Prices start from £95. 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.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site

Repairing versus replacing
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
What affects the price in FK1
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for FK1. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in FK1 and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Signs you need bath repair
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
FK1: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, FK1 included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
