Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bearwood. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Bearwood and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bearwood, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Bearwood?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for these signs:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Bearwood
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.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bearwood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
