Bath chip and crack repair
Chips, cracks, rust spots and holes repaired in place and colour-matched to your bath, so you don’t need to rip it out.
- Repairs from £95

Bath chip & crack repair without replacing anything
Most bath damage is local: one chip by the taps, a rust spot by the waste, a crack where something heavy landed. A repair fixes just that area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it.
We travel to you anywhere in the UK, and every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Send us a photo for a free, no-obligation quote.
What we fix
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches and burns
Materials we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
How it works
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade of white (or colour).
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure. Most baths can be used again the next day.
Acrylic cracks and holes
To repair a crack or hole in an acrylic bath properly we need to reach the underside to reinforce it. If you can take the bath panel off and get a hand to the back of the damaged spot, it is usually repairable. Damage on the base or under a shoulder support can be hard to reach, so send us a photo first.
When a repair isn’t the best option
If the whole bath is dull, rough or stained, a single repair can stand out against the worn enamel around it. In that case we’ll tell you, and full re-enamelling usually gives a better result.

Repair or replace?
| Repair with us | Replace | |
|---|---|---|
| What’s involved | Repaired in place, nothing removed | A plumber, removing the bath, making good the tiles and panel, and disposing of the old bath |
| Time | Usually one visit | Often more than one trade and visit |
| Disruption | Room protected, back in use quickly | Dust, waste and time without the room |
| Guarantee | One year on every repair | Depends on the products and fitter |
Replacement can make sense if the item is beyond repair or you’re refitting anyway; we’ll tell you honestly.

Bath chip and crack repair: common questions
Will I be able to see the repair?
We colour-match every repair on the day and blend it into the surrounding surface. On a bath in good condition, most people can’t find the repair afterwards. On worn or dull enamel a repair can show, and we’ll tell you that before we start.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We’ll confirm the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish. If rust has spread a long way under the enamel, we’ll explain the options.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids the cost and disruption of removal, plumbing and making good. If replacement would be better, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for a quote?
No. Quotes are free and fixed, based on your photos.
