- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. 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.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Bobbington
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What we are called out for in Bobbington
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DY7 postcode.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

We cover the entire UK, including Bobbington and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
