Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Aldbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Aldbury
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Do you need bath repair in Aldbury?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
