How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Blacknest. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Blacknest
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath repair in Blacknest
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
