Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Alkerton questions
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
