Repair or replace in Bowes?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most clients in Bowes get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Common questions in Bowes
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Bowes. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are there extra charges for Bowes?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How much does bath repair cost in Bowes?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
