What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

FAQs for Beacon Hill

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you come to Beacon Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to Beacon Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

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.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Beacon Hill

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Landlord and trade work in Beacon Hill

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need bath repair in Beacon Hill

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Damage beneath the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Beacon Hill

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Beacon Hill customers choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
