Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What else we do in Bassett
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Signs you need bath repair in Bassett
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps

Questions from Bassett
Do you work in Bassett?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bassett for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bassett. Prices don’t change with location.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Bassett, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
