DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath repair in Bourton, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Different materials, different repairs
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bourton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bourton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
