About our bath repair in Bayston Hill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Bayston Hill
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Bayston Hill?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Bayston Hill: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Different materials, different repairs
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 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, so it’s always worth repairing.
