Bath repair in Austwick without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Common problems we fix in Austwick
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage beneath the taps

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Austwick. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Your questions about bath repair in Austwick
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
