What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Boreland
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What about rust by the waste?
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.
Do you need bath repair in Boreland?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
