Bath repair in Old Town without replacing anything
You can usually use the bath the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do you need bath repair in Old Town?
Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Scratches and burns
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
