DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Belmont and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Belmont
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
