What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
About our bath repair in Abbey Hulton
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and chips on the rim or sides.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Abbey Hulton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about bath repair in Abbey Hulton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
