Bath repair in Ball, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Ball
Do you come to Ball?
We do. We send a technician to Ball for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Ball?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does bath repair cost in Ball?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What else we do in Ball
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
