Bath repair at your home in Albourne Street
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. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Albourne Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Do you need bath repair in Albourne Street?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BN6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Albourne Street: your questions answered
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
