Bath repair at your home in Boney Hay
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boney Hay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
FAQs for Boney Hay
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
