What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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, usually the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath repair in Blackmore
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
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.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Landlord and trade work in Blackmore
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Blackmore. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When to call us in Blackmore
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 is what we repair.
