About our bath repair in Bawsey
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bawsey and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath repair in Bawsey
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bawsey?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Bawsey.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we’re called out for in Bawsey
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Bawsey, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bawsey. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bawsey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
