Bath repair in Borley Green, done in place
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. You can typically use the bath the day after. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Borley Green
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Borley Green: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How much does bath repair cost in Borley Green?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
