- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Apsley End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Apsley End
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Apsley End?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SG5 postcode.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Apsley End. The price depends on:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
