How we handle bath repair in Bodella
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What affects the price in Bodella
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bodella. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bodella as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What else we do in Bodella
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Bodella questions
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will the repair show?
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 information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Common problems we fix in Bodella
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Repairing versus replacing in Bodella
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
