Bath repair in Borley without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Borley as everywhere else we work.

Repairing versus replacing in Borley
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Borley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
Common questions in Borley
How do I get a price for bath repair in Borley?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will I be able to see the repair?
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.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
