Bath repair at your home in Blue Anchor
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and holes from dropped items, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Blue Anchor. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Blue Anchor questions
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does bath repair cost in Blue Anchor?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Repair or replace in Blue Anchor?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
