How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
About our bath repair in Appspond
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Appspond, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about bath repair in Appspond
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Appspond and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Appspond?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Appspond
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
