Bath repair in Balscote without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
If you’re in Balscote and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Balscote
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Questions from Balscote
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One price list for the whole UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything

Different materials, different repairs
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 is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Balscote, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balscote use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
