Bath repair in Ball Hill, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Ball Hill
- Roll-top & freestanding

Questions from Ball Hill
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ball Hill included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
