For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bailey's Hard use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Bath repair at your home in Bailey's Hard
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items

Bailey's Hard: your questions answered
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How much does bath repair cost in Bailey's Hard?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repairing versus replacing in Bailey's Hard
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
