About bath repair in NG80
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Pricing in NG80

How the damage happens
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

Your questions about bath repair in NG80
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
