Bath repair in Birdston, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Birdston
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
