Bath repair in Box End, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Box End: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Signs you need bath repair in Box End
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Box End. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your MK43 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
