Bath repair in Aby without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Aby

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Aby questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
