How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Blackmill. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackmill

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Blackmill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Blackmill

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Blackmill?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Blackmill?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Blackmill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
