Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Belstone Corner. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Bath repair in Belstone Corner without replacing anything
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace in Belstone Corner?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Belstone Corner. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
FAQs for Belstone Corner
Is a bath repair durable?
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, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What we are called out for in Belstone Corner
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
